Slot expander DeLOCK 41370

This riser card from DELOCK (model 41370) lets you connect a standard PCI Express x1 card to a motherboard mini PCI Express slot. The product includes a 13 cm flexible cable and a 4-pin floppy power connector, enabling installation in compact or space-constrained PC cases.

Advantages

The flexible 13 cm cable provides freedom of placement inside the case while maintaining signal integrity for PCI Express x1 connections. A dedicated 4-pin floppy power connector supplies additional power when required. The left insertion design matches mini PCI Express slots with specific orientation to ensure proper fit.

Suitable for

• Adding a PCI Express x1 card when only a mini PCIe slot is available
• Small form-factor or cramped PC cases where direct card installation is impractical
• Upgrading systems that need additional connectivity through PCIe x1 expansion cards
